The experience

I’ll admit, I was a little nervous about climbing onto a camel outside Agadir. They’re way taller up close than I’d pictured. The guide, Youssef, just grinned and handed me a Saharan scarf (I still have sand in my shoes from that day). He made some joke about “Moroccan air conditioning” as he wrapped it around my head. My friend and I ended up sharing our camel, which felt wobbly at first but then sort of peaceful once we got moving through Souss Massa’s sandy trails. You could smell eucalyptus in the air and hear birds calling somewhere off in the brush. I kept waiting for the camel to do something dramatic but mostly he just plodded along like he had all the time in the world.

We passed these patches of wildflowers, tiny yellow ones, and Youssef pointed out some birds that migrate here every spring. He told us stories about his childhood in Agadir and how his uncle used to bring him to this exact spot for picnics. At one point, we saw two kids waving from behind a fence. Their laughter carried over the dunes. The whole thing felt kind of slow and gentle, not rushed at all. If you’re looking for that “day trip Agadir camel ride” vibe, this is it. Nothing fancy, just you and the landscape (and maybe a slightly stubborn camel).

Back at the ranch, someone handed us glasses of hot mint tea so sweet it made my teeth ache (in a good way) and these little cakes dusted with sugar. The tea smelled like fresh herbs and smoke from the charcoal burner. We sat on low cushions while Youssef told us how Moroccans never rush tea. “It’s rude to hurry,” he said, pouring from high up so it foamed. There was this easy silence between sips. I remember thinking how far away city noise felt right then. We didn’t want to leave yet but eventually piled back into the van for hotel drop-off, still sticky with sugar and sun.
